The Philadelphia 76ers and the Minnesota Timberwolves will lock horns on Tuesday in the NBA 2K25 Summer League. Philadelphia lost 97-95 to the Portland Trail Blazers in their previous game when rookie Jared McCain’s desperate 33-foot heave failed to go in. The 76ers will try to get back into the win column behind McCain, Ricky Council IV, Justin Edwards and Jeff Dowtin.
Meanwhile, the Timberwolves racked up their second straight win in Las Vegas following a 105-94 victory over the Indiana Pacers. Rookie Terrence Shannon Jr. continued his impressive season with another solid outing. Rob Dillingham also showed why he is a lottery pick with his superb combination of playmaking and scoring.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves: NBA 2K25 Summer League rosters
Philadelphia 76ers Summer League Roster
Jared McCain, the No. 16 pick of this year’s draft, has been as good as advertised in the Summer League. He had a rough shooting night in the loss to the Blazers but made up for it with seven rebounds, three assists and some solid defense. The former Duke star will again lead the 76ers.
Ricky Council IV is also expected to play a crucial role for Philly. Sixers fans will also be interested if rookie Adem Bona can come up with a better performance than the one he showed versus Portland.
Here is the 76ers’ Summer League lineup:
Minnesota Timberwolves Summer League Roster
The Timberwolves are unbeaten in the Summer League, largely because of Terrence Shannon and Rob Dillingham. They had another impressive display in the win against the Pacers a few nights ago.
Chris Hines, who got a surprisingly good performance from Nadir Hifi, will give the Frenchman more opportunities on Tuesday.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves: Prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers could have been 2-0 had Jared McCain’s desperate 3-point attempt gone in against the Portland Trail Blazers. They will try to bounce back against a team that is arguably playing the best in the Summer League.
Terrence Shannon’s electric pairing with Rob Dillingham has made the Minnesota Timberwolves a treat to watch. They could continue playing well off each other and improve their record to 3-0 in Las Vegas.
